Black Locust ~ White Blossoms

 

Oh!

The sweet fragrance

rising from the white clumps

of Black Locust blossoms.

The southwest wind

conveys the heavy perfume

long before my approach.

Stopping on my run

for a drink of water,

I see hundreds of bees

attracted, addicted.

I examine closely

the magnificence

of its inflorescence;

curled and convoluted

clusters of sheer joy.

A lavish display

of pure pageantry.
